Senior Kotlin Developer (BE)

Take ownership of critical backend systems and play a stabilising, high-impact role in shaping scalable, production-grade technology used across a global investment platform.

This is a senior-level opportunity where your technical judgement, ownership mindset, and backend expertise will directly influence system stability, performance, and architectural direction. You will work on meaningful, long-lived services rather than greenfield experiments, collaborating with experienced engineers in an environment that values pragmatic decision-making, calm execution under pressure, and sustainable solutions over over-engineering. The role offers room to deepen your technical breadth, contribute to architectural discussions, and act as a trusted technical anchor within the team.

Your key responsibilities as a Senior Kotlin Developer will include:

• Owning, developing, and stabilising core backend microservices to ensure reliability and scalability in production environments.
• Optimising performance of existing services and processes, with a strong focus on efficiency and long-term maintainability.
• Contributing to system architecture, technical decision-making, and thorough pull request reviews to uphold engineering standards.
• Participating in 2nd and 3rd level support, including root cause analysis and operational problem-solving.
• Working closely with other engineers to ensure high-quality delivery across backend services and, where required, occasional frontend tasks.
• Supporting the ongoing operation of production systems through monitoring, analysis, and continuous improvement.

You will need the following experience and skills to join us as a Senior Kotlin Developer :

• You bring several years of experience as a senior backend engineer, with confidence operating and improving production systems.
• You have strong hands-on experience with Java or Kotlin, ideally using Spring Boot in a microservices environment.
• You demonstrate deep expertise in MongoDB or NoSQL technologies, including aggregations and performance-focused data modelling.
• You apply strong algorithmic thinking with a clear focus on scalability, performance optimisation, and sustainable solutions.
• You are comfortable taking ownership, performing root cause analysis, and contributing calmly and effectively during production incidents.
• You possess full professional fluency in German, enabling you to collaborate with stakeholders, contribute to technical discussions, and support cross-functional teams confidently.
